  • The Role of Lawyers in Producing the Rule of Law: Some Critical Reflections*
    The Role of Lawyers in Producing the Rule of Law: Some Critical Reflections* Robert W Gordon** INTRODUCTION For the last fifteen years, American and European governments, lending institutions led by the World Bank, and NGOs like the American Bar Association have been funding projects to promote the "Rule of Law" in developing countries, former Communist and military dictatorships, and China. The Rule of Law is of course a very capacious concept, which means many different things to its different promoters. Anyone who sets out to investigate its content will soon find himself in a snowstorm of competing definitions. Its barebones content ("formal legality") is that of a regime of rules, announced in advance, which are predictably and effectively applied to all they address, including the rulers who promulgate them - formal rules that tell people how the state will deploy coercive force and enable them to plan their affairs accordingly. The slightly-more-than barebones version adds: "applied equally to everyone."' This minimalist version of the Rule of Law, which we might call pure positivist legalism, is not, however, what the governments, multilateral * This Article is based on the second Annual Cegla Lecture on Legal Theory, delivered at Tel Aviv University Faculty of Law on April 23, 2009. ** Chancellor Kent Professor of Law and Legal History, Yale University. I am indebted to the University of Tel Aviv faculty for their generous hospitality and helpful comments, and especially to Assaf Likhovski, Roy Kreitner, Ron Harris, Hanoch Dagan, Daphna Hacker, David Schorr, Daphne Barak-Erez and Michael Zakim. 1 See generallyBRIAN TAMANAHA, ON THE RULE OF LAW: HISTORY, POLITICS, THEORY 26-91 (2004) (providing a lucid inventory of the various common meanings of the phrase).

  • The Charter – a Short History
    The Charter – a short history The Mindful Business Charter was born out of discussions between the in house legal team at Barclays and two of their panel law firms, Pinsent Masons and Addleshaw Goddard, along the following lines: The people working in their businesses are highly driven professionals; We do pressured, often complex, work which requires high levels of cognitive functioning; We thrive on that hard work and pressure; In amongst that pressure and hard work there is stress, some of which is unnecessary; When we are stressed we work less productively, and it is not good for our health; and If we could remove that unnecessary stress, we would enable people to work more effectively and efficiently, as well as be happier and healthier. They also recognised that the pressure and stress come from multiple sources, often because of unspoken expectations of what the other requires or demands. Too often lawyers will respond to requests for work from a client with an assumption that the client requires the work as quickly as possible, whatever the demands that may make on the individuals involved, and whatever the impact upon their wellbeing, their families and much else besides. The bigger and more important the client, the greater the risk of that happening. The development of IT has contributed to this. As our connectivity has increased, there has been an inexorable drift towards an assumption that simply because we can be contactable and on demand and working 24/7, wherever we may be, that we should be. No-one stopped to think about this, to challenge it, to ask if it was what we wanted, or what we should do, or needed to do or if it was a good idea, we just went with the drift, perhaps fearful of speaking out, perhaps fearful that if we took a stand, the client would find another law firm down the road who was prepared to do whatever was required.

Thomas Jefferson: "The study of the law qualifies a man to be useful to himself, to his neighbors, and to the public." II. Ask Several Students to give their definition of "Law." A. Even after years and thousands of dollars, "LAW" still is not easy to define B. What does law Consist of ? Law consists of enforceable rule governing relationships among individuals and between individuals and their society. 1. Students Need to Understand. a. The law is a set of general ideas b. When these general ideas are applied, a judge cannot fit a case to suit a rule; he must fit (or find) a rule to suit the unique case at hand. c. The judge must also supply legitimate reasons for his decisions. C. So, How was the Law Created. The law considered in this text are "man made" law. This law can (and will) change over time in response to the changes and needs of society. D. Example. Grandma, who is 87 years old, walks into a pawn shop. She wants to sell her ring that has been in the family for 200 years. Grandma asks the dealer, "how much will you give me for this ring." The dealer, in good faith, tells Grandma he doesn't know what kind of metal is in the ring, but he will give her $150.

  • The Lawyer As Counselor by Jack W
    The Lawyer As Counselor by Jack W. Burtch Jr. In my second year of law school, I began working for a well-known Nashville defense lawyer. He was in his early sixties then, as I am now. One day he said, “JB, I want you to go to the county health department, find all the pamphlets on mental health, and bring them back here.” Thinking this was somewhat unusual, I asked the reason for his request. “Because many of my clients have trouble accepting real - ity,” he said, “and I want to find out why.” Sometimes simply bringing clients into reality is our job. When I look at my law license with its faded friends, and they strongly suggested I come and signatures, I see the words “Attorney and talk to you.” I didn’t know why he was calling Counsellor at Law.” For many years, only that first either, but I was certainly intrigued.

When a judge makes a decision that is unpopular, even if well-reasoned, it may be assailed as motivated by other factors. The media is criticized as distributing “fake news” and as biased.

  • A Guide to the Federal Magistrate Judges System
    A GUIDE TO THE FEDERAL MAGISTRATE JUDGES SYSTEM Peter G. McCabe A White Paper Prepared at the Request of the Federal Bar Association Hon. Michael J. Newman, United States Magistrate Judge Chair of the Federal Bar Association’s Magistrate Judge Task Force (2013-14) President of the Federal Bar Association (2016-17) Hon. Gustavo A. Gelpí, Jr., United States District Judge President of the Federal Bar Association & Creator of the FBA’s Magistrate Judge Task Force (2013-14) August 2014 Updated October 2016 Introduction In the United States District Courts, there are two types of federal judges: United States District Judges (confirmed by the Senate with life tenure); and United States Magistrate Judges (appointed through a merit selection process for renewable, eight year terms). Although their precise duties may change from district to district, Magistrate Judges often conduct mediations, resolve discovery disputes, and decide a wide variety of motions; determine whether criminal defendants will be detained or released on a bond; appoint counsel for such defendants (and, in the misdemeanor context, hold trials and sentence defendants); and make recommendations regarding whether a party should win a case on summary judgment, whether a Social Security claimant should receive a disability award, whether a habeas petitioner should prevail, and whether a case merits dismissal. When both sides to a civil case consent, Magistrate Judges hear the entire dispute, rule on all motions, and preside at trial. There are now 531 full-time Magistrate Judges in the United States District Courts. According to the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, in 2013, Magistrate Judges disposed of a total of 1,179,358 matters.1 The importance of Magistrate Judges to the day-to-day workings of the federal trial courts cannot be overstated.
